Measure the cushion from the seam at the back of the seat to the seam at the front. Double that number and add 1 inch to get the length of fabric you will need to cover the top and bottom of the cushion . Adding 1 inch gives you a 1/2-inch seam allowance on each end of the cushion .
Measure at the front edge of the seat frame, between the arms, and at the rear (where it meets the back). Use the widest of these three measurements as the width. Depth : Measure from the front edge of the seat to the rear, where it meets the chair back. Make sure to take this measurement in the center of the seat .

Protect from rain Outdoor fabrics, such as Sunbrella®, are moisture, mildew and fade resistant. Generally, this means if you leave the cushions uncovered during a rainstorm, the rain will bead up and roll off. When left untended over a series of downpours, though, they will start to show signs of wear.
